Making a new claim for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) or transferring from Disability Living Allowance (DLA) to the benefit may take up to 22 weeks, according to the latest statistics released by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

You will receive an ‘Award Letter' which will outline which of the components you have been awarded and at what rate.
PIP is made up of a combination of two components:
Daily Living
Mobility
Whether you get one or both of these and how much depends on how severely your condition affects you.

Hayes has been away from the musical spotlight for years now but is roaring back to our consciousness with a flurry of activity, including a successful promotional visit of Australia, a banging headline set to a sold-out crowd of 40,000 at the 2022 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade and announcement of his 2023 Australian tour, where he’ll be performing in six Australian cities between January and February next year.“More of a mini-film than a video – come spend seven minutes in heaven with me and my gang in our fictional CLUB U WISH!”, Hayes posted on social media.The music video, totally conceptualised by Hayes, couldn’t be described better than how the press release did it: “Hayes continues to present a version of his past that is clearly a peach tinted re-imagining of his actual life.
